I have an idea, run some challenges and give out some cool prizes which women's are very much interested in Let us see whether there's any difference in fellow women programmers participating or interacting in Lounge for that matter.

A draft of a new UN report seen by The New York Times warns that our planet is at risk of "severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts" if the world's governments don't quickly alter their course and do more to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases. The report, drafted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says that we are already nearing a temperature at which the ice sheet covering Greenland is expected to begin melting — an unstoppable process that could raise global sea levels by 23 feet and bring other extremes of climate including heat waves and torrential rain.

Apple's a hardware company, Microsoft's a software company, and Google makes almost all of its income from advertising. All three companies have been trying for years to diversify their revenue streams. How's that working out?

Hint: Google still makes all their money by annoying you with that same ad that follows you around like your annoying little brother.

With Hollywood hovering in the background looking for cash, last month the High Court ordered Kim Dotcom to reveal in detail where he's getting all his money from. The Mega founder isn't ready to give in though, and is putting up a fight ahead of an appeal hearing in October.

So he launches 12 useless startups, as though there weren't enough of them. Just go to Windows store eh?

When the Snowden leaks dropped last year, some feared that the reveal widespread state surveillance would be followed by a clamping down on transparency efforts. A new Pew Research poll suggests that the effect is more in line with Kafka than Orwell, however: the threat of ubiquitous surveillance may have resulted in a self-imposed cooling effect on online discussion.

You got it all wrong - this black-box is used to make your understanding of the code even worst (and with JavaScript it means a lot!)...
1 and 2 is good, but has nothing to do with JS but with programming in general.
But 3 is the best! Go with this and you will get a slow application even with the best JS engine (hint compare prototype extension with adding function to single instance only)!

...and I'm tired of people who refuse to accept scientific evidence and put their own temporary well-being above issues that may affect future generations. I'd like the world to remain capable of supporting my descendants.
